Insulted? Where did I say that?
I am basing my "dear price" comment on his own words:
There’s always a chance I might never see my family again. Because of that, I often regret it.
- eesmith 4y agoIt's pretty common for people to have a regret about moving. DDG finds one site claiming "30% of Americans that we surveyed regret at least something about their move" and "Among those who regret their move, “moving away from their friends” (49%) and “leaving the area they used to live in” (40%) are the top regrets" - https://blog.hireahelper.com/2021-study-do-people-actually-regret-moving/ https://blog.hireahelper.com/2021-study-do-people-actually-r... There's almost always a price to a move. But you said it was a "dear price", with rather little evidence for how dear this regret was to the author. Personally, I don't get it. Even after renunciation you can still visit the US, just under the same constraints as a foreigner. It's not like Boris Johnson can't visit the US now. Furthermore, your calculation would have to know how dear the price would have been to the author to not renounce, and the fact that he did renounce suggests it's pretty high.
